American Airlines giving away five luxury trips for two

How far away could you be in 24
hours? American Airlines is offering adventuresome travelers the opportunity to
find out through a contest offering five winners travel packages including
First Class airfare and luxury accommodations at destinations that can be
reached in less than a day from the their home airports.

The details of the “24 Hours
From Now” contest arrived in my inbox May 1 in an intriguingly worded
communiqué:

“You probably know where you'll be 24 hours from now. But
where could you be?” the e-mail started out.

“With oneworld, the most awarded airline alliance,
the possibilities are endless. You can easily reach top business and leisure
destinations like Tokyo, London, Sydney, Hong Kong, Buenos Aires and more. And,
you'll enjoy key benefits such as global recognition of your elite status and
earning and redeeming miles on all oneworld® airlines.”

St. Basil's Cathedral

American Airlines (NYSE:AAL)
said it is hosting the contest in celebration of US Airways, TAM Airlines and SriLankan airlines joining the oneworld alliance.

Winning packages include two First-Class airline tickets,
a seven‑night stay at any hotel within the Hilton portfolio, and a luxury point‑and‑shoot
Hasselblad Stellar camera.

“Now that would be an epic
tomorrow,” the e-mail concluded.

Using San Francisco
International (SFO) as my point of departure -- the closest airport offered in
connection within the context of this promotion – I could in theory be in
Asunción, Paraguay (ASU) with
stops in Dallas (DFW) and Buenos Aires (EZE); Melbourne, Australia (MEL) via
Los Angeles (LAX); or Moscow, Russia (SVO) via New York (JFK) and Helsinki,
Finland (HEL).

Sydney Opera House

Travel often includes segments on American’s oneworld®
partner airlines
including, in the case of my proffered trips, TAM, Qantas, and Finnair.

I went immediately to the contest website
and registered to win. If you’re not an AAdvantage Miles member, you can join
on the same web page. Perhaps we’ll visit Sydney or
Hong Kong together.

Entries must be received by
June 14. Bon voyage!

Experienced travelers know the benefits that come from traveling Business or First Class, particularly on long flights. More space to work or stretch out, better food and better treatment are but a few of the advantages. But passengers who travel in those upmarket cabins aboard U.A.E.-based Emirates enjoy some additional perks including complimentary chauffeur-driven transportation at both ends of their flight.

Perhaps you've had the experience of going to a restaurant you've heard about - maybe for years - only to find out its glory days are long gone and it's living on its reputation. That is decidedly not the case with Canlis.
